Gong Chen seemed genuinely angry, and Lin Zhiyi almost couldn’t catch her breath.
After parting, she ran into her room and slammed the door with force.
Gong Chen took a work call and was preparing to leave when he knocked on the door.
"Stay away from him."
Lin Zhiyi threw a pillow at the door.
Gong Chen frowned, stunned. His temper really was getting worse.
At that moment, Chen Jin knocked on the door.
Gong Chen turned around and opened the front door, and Chen Jin handed him something.
"What?" Gong Chen looked at Chen Jin suspiciously.
"Third Young Master, it was my fault this morning for not instructing people well. This is for you to give to Miss Lin."
Chen Jin earnestly placed the cute little box on the ground.
Gong Chen glanced at it with some disdain, "No need."
Chen Jin’s eyelids twitched, "Third Young Master, I specifically asked my female colleagues; they said this is the most popular gift box recently."
Hearing this, Gong Chen picked up the box and placed it on the coffee table.
The two then left.
Lin Zhiyi, hearing that it had quietened down, finally opened her door and walked out, just in time to see the box on the coffee table.
What is this?
Such a strange box.
Ugly yet cute.
Driven by curiosity, Lin Zhiyi opened the box and saw the brainless monster spring out, scaring her senseless.
"Ah!"
It was actually mocking her for being brainless!
...
Xue Man’s new product exhibition was set on New Year’s Eve.
Lin Zhiyi, having accompanied her at the venue to check the preparations that took over two months, couldn’t help feeling a sense of indescribable achievement.
Xue Man contentedly said, "Zhiyi, you’ve done very well. I plan to make you a permanent staff after the new product exhibition ends."
"Thank you."
"This is what you deserve, as you’ve endured hardship before sweet success," Xue Man said with a gentle smile that had a touch of double entendre.
Lin Zhiyi obviously didn’t catch it and was about to respond when her phone rang.
It was Liu He.
"Mom, what’s wrong?"
"I twisted my back, your uncle isn’t home, and I want you to accompany me to the hospital."
"Okay, have your driver take you to the hospital, and I’ll wait for you there."
After hanging up, Lin Zhiyi asked Xue Man for leave.
Xue Man, who was quite liberal and tolerant towards her hard-working staff,
especially since the two had once gotten drunk together in a bar.
Although neither liked to bring it up, Xue Man always remembered Lin Zhiyi’s companionship.
She even had her own driver give Lin Zhiyi a ride once.
Lin Zhiyi arrived at the hospital and saw Liu He wearing a lumbar support sitting in a wheelchair.
"How did you get hurt?"
"The Second Madam got up early in the morning to make breakfast for the old master and fell in the yard. She didn’t feel the pain initially but after standing for the whole morning, it became unbearable in the afternoon."
After hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked at the driver skeptically.
"Making breakfast is fine, but what do you mean by standing all morning?"
"This..." The driver glanced at Liu He, conflicted.
Liu He, stiffening her body, waved her hand, "It’s nothing. Today, the old master invited a master from the mountain to perform a ritual, and it was the first time he asked me to stay in the ancestral hall for so long. I naturally had to fulfill my duty as a daughter-in-law."
The Gong Family was always quite traditional in this respect, indeed inviting masters to perform rituals, but only on special holidays.
